However good your skin is, you need to blanket it with nutrients 365x7x24
for a glowing complexion that carries an enviable sheen. This makes it
is imperative for you keep your skin well moisturized to delay the onset
of wrinkles and unwanted spots. And night creams, as an invaluable part of
your vanity caddy, offer the perfect solution for skin care as you nod off
to sleep.
What makes a night cream different from any other day cream? “Night
creams, because of their higher oil content are greasier and more
occlusive than day creams,” says skin specialist Dr. Jamuna Pai. “They are
also known as ‘nourishing creams’, since they contain substances that
penetrate the skin to nourish it. To enable these components to penetrate
better, the cream must remain on the skin for several hours, hence needs
to be applied at night.
The cream itself softens the skin as it stays on the whole night and the
active ingredients like those that lighten the skin, others that have a
regenerative action on aging skin, definitely do help.”
